I can see Zarek being a cylon.

I thought the ending was to the mid finale great. Not really expecting them to reach earth so fast.

Question I like to see solved.

@final cylon

@importance of starbuck (lead them to doom and gloom)

@importance of the hybrids.

@Who is the hybrid that was saying starbuck will lead the human race to death (in razor movie) (i thought it looked a bit like the doctor)

@the res hub was destroyed but was that the only one? I know one before was destroyed.

@what happens to all the cylons on the main planets? Did they populate or just stay around to wipe the human race and then follow again?

@Who is the hybrid that was saying starbuck will lead the human race to death (in razor movie) (i thought it looked a bit like the doctor)

one of the first hybrids, probably the first, who escaped during the first cylon war and proceeded in separate ways from the other cylons

@the res hub was destroyed but was that the only one? I know one before was destroyed.

Before, they destroyed a Resurrection Ship. I guess the Hub was the central... well, hub of all the ships.

Given that knowledge, I assume they would have more than one Resurrection Ship, right? Did they all just stop working when the Hub was destroyed? You think the Cylons would be smarter than that.

...Then again, to quote the opening: "They have a plan." That could very well be part of it: becoming more human.

We never really did see what their "plan" was, did we? I mean they had a plan to wipe out humanity, they executed that half way through the pilot. After that, they just sort of...chased them around a bit.

Nooo, they weren't just chasing them around. Cylons decided Earth will be their new home. :)

That was the plan, to chase the humans around the universe because it beats sitting in one place waiting for things to happen when you are a robot who lives for thousands of years. That plan seemed to change now to include going to earth with the humans and copulating with the humans. :)

I wouldn't mind a couple Sharons in my bed. ;)

I wonder if I should change my name to SakNeptune and re-engineer your sig. :)

Gaeta is in the fleet, so that would rule him out.

We still don't know if that's true; again, D'Anna could've just said that to confuse Roslin. Or to remove 'focus' from the fifth.

Or, like I suggested earlier... Maybe D'Anna just didn't recognize the fifth. I mean, she can't know EVERY single face in the fleet, right? It could very well be someone in the fleet that she just hasn't met.

You're making some hefty assumptions based on irrational story telling. I don't think Moore is a great story teller, but I don't think he's that bad either. It's way too easy to just fall on the conclusion that D'Anna simply lied for no logical reason. Besides, there were multiple copies of every Cylon, and given that they're not human, knowing every single face really shouldn't prove to be that difficult to conceive, especially for those who are in the fleet (since there are more non-military people than military). Gaeta also assisted Baltar when he was president, so Gaeta would be more known than Anders, who was known.

2nd part of season to be extended? Series Finale to be 3 hours long?

SCI FI Channel is unable to confirm a report in the Chicago Tribune that the final part of Battlestar Galactica's last season will expand or that the finale of the series is expected to be three hours long.

The channel will only say that the finale, written by series creator Ronald D. Moore, extends beyond the time allotted for the episode.

The channel is currently exploring how to shoot the extra footage as Moore has envisioned and written it. No premiere date has been announced yet for the start of the second half of the fourth and final season.

All along I've suspected Balthar as the final Cylon, but can't recall if he was ever directly exposed the virus in Measure of Salvation (season 3). If so, and he obviously survived, then he can't be a Cylon since the virus is lethal to them. Helo and Apollo would be eliminated from the running for final Cylon since they were part of the boarding party that discovered the virus-laden probe on the infected Basestar.

They found a probe left by one of the original settlers of earth, it was in a nebula they found (I think it was the same one that had an "eye). The cylons that got infected all died, sharon survived because of her baby producing an antibody or something.

It was actually an old disease that humans had developed an immunity to decades ago.

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
    • Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips by Pradeep Viswanathan Microsoft, Google, Amazon, AMD, Meta, Apple, OpenAI, and several others have been developing their own chips for AI infrastructure. However, NVIDIA still remains the dominant player in the market. Today, Qualcomm announced a major expansion of its data center infrastructure portfolio to better compete with NVIDIA. The new lineup includes the Qualcomm Dragonfly C1000 CPU, Qualcomm High Bandwidth Compute technology, the Dragonfly AI300 inference accelerator, new connectivity products, and custom silicon solutions. Qualcomm claims that this new lineup improves performance per watt, token throughput, and total cost of ownership for AI data centers. The Dragonfly C1000 is a new data center CPU built with Qualcomm’s custom Oryon cores. This chip will feature more than 250 cores, frequencies above 5GHz, and a chiplet-based design. Qualcomm claims that this new C1000 can deliver more than 2x better performance per watt compared to existing server CPU offerings based on specifications. The Dragonfly C1000 will support PCIe Gen 7 with more than 2TB/s of connectivity, along with CXL, advanced RAS features, and both air and liquid cooling. Qualcomm expects the Dragonfly C1000 to be commercially available in 2028. Additionally, Qualcomm and Meta announced a multi-year, multi-generation agreement under which Qualcomm will supply Dragonfly C1000 data center CPUs for Meta’s next-generation server fleet. Qualcomm also announced High Bandwidth Compute, a new near-memory computing architecture designed to address AI’s memory bandwidth bottleneck. HBC Gen 1 will debut with the Dragonfly AI250, which is expected to sample in mid-2027. The AI250 will deliver 133TB/s per card, an 18x increase in effective memory bandwidth compared to the AI200 with LPDDR5X. The new Dragonfly AI300 with HBC Gen 2 is a rack-level AI inference platform from Qualcomm. Qualcomm claims that the AI300 can deliver 4x to 8x better performance per watt compared to existing GPU-based architectures based on memory bandwidth per watt per card. The Dragonfly AI300 is expected to be available in 2028.
